< Engero 1 >

1 Engero za Sulemaani, mutabani wa Dawudi, kabaka wa Isirayiri.
The parablis of Salomon, the sone of Dauid, king of Israel;
2 Yaziwandiika okuyigiriza abantu okuba n’amagezi n’okuyiga, era n’okutegeera ebigambo eby’obulabufu; eby’obulamu eby’amagezi n’empisa.
to kunne wisdom and kunnyng;
3 Sulemaani yayagala abantu okuba n’empisa, n’obulamu obw’amagezi, okukolanga ebituufu, n’okubeera abenkanya n’okugobereranga ensonga;
to vndurstonde the wordis of prudence; and to take the lernyng of teching; to take riytfulnesse, and dom, and equyte;
4 okuyigiriza amagezi abatalina bumanyirivu, n’abavubuka okufuna okumanya n’okutegeera.
that felnesse be youun to litle children, and kunnyng, and vndurstonding to a yong wexynge man.
5 N’abantu ab’amagezi nabo bwe bawulira beeyongere okuyiga n’abategeevu beeyongere okubangulwa.
A wise man heringe schal be wisere; and a man vndurstondinge schal holde gouernails.
6 Era engero zino zaawandiikibwa okutegeera engero, enjogera n’ebikokyo.
He schal perseyue a parable, and expownyng; the wordis of wise men, and the derk figuratif spechis of hem.
7 Kale mu kutya Mukama amagezi mwe gasookera, naye abasirusiru banyooma amagezi n’okulagirirwa.
The drede of the Lord is the bigynning of wisdom; foolis dispisen wisdom and teching.
8 Mwana wange ossangayo omwoyo eri ebiragiro bya kitaawo, era tolekanga kukuutira kwa maama wo;
My sone, here thou the teching of thi fadir, and forsake thou not the lawe of thi modir;
9 bijja kuba ngule eneeweesanga omutwe gwo ekitiibwa, n’emikuufu mu bulago bwo.
that grace be addid, ethir encreessid, to thin heed, and a bie to thi necke.
10 Mwana wange abakozi b’ebibi bwe bakusendasendanga, tokkirizanga.
Mi sone, if synneris flateren thee, assente thou not to hem.
11 Bwe bakugambanga nti, “Tugende ffenna twesanyuse, tunyage, tubbe n’okutta; tokkirizanga;
If thei seien, Come thou with vs, sette we aspies to blood, hide we snaris of disseitis ayens an innocent without cause;
12 ng’entaana bw’emira abantu, naffe tubamire tutyo nga bakyali balamu, era nga balamba, ng’abagenda mu bunnya obuwanvu; (Sheol h7585)
swolowe we him, as helle swolowith a man lyuynge; and al hool, as goynge doun in to a lake; we schulen fynde al preciouse catel, (Sheol h7585)
13 nga twefunira eby’obugagga bye tutakoleredde, ne tujjuza amayumba gaffe obugagga obubbe;
we schulen fille oure housis with spuylis; sende thou lot with vs,
14 ng’ababi batuyita tubeegatteko, tugabane kyenkanyi ebibbe n’ebinyage.”
o purs be of vs alle;
15 Mwana wange totambuliranga wamu nabo, era ekigere kyo kiziyize okukwatanga ekkubo lyabwe:
my sone, go thou not with hem; forbede thi foot fro the pathis of hem.
16 Kubanga ebigere byabwe bidduka bunnambiro okukola ebibi, era kibanguyira okuyiwa omusaayi.
For the feet of hem rennen to yuel; and thei hasten to schede out blood.
17 Nga kuba kumala biseera okutega omutego, ng’ekinyonyi ky’oyagala okukwata kikulaba,
But a net is leid in veyn bifore the iyen of briddis, that han wengis.
18 naye abantu ng’abo baba beetega bokka, baba beetega omutego ogunaabakwasa bo bennyini.
Also `thilke wickid disseyueris setten aspies ayens her owne blood; and maken redi fraudis ayens her soulis.
19 Bwe lityo bwe libeera ekkubo lya buli muntu anoonya okugaggawalira mu bukyamu. Obugagga obw’engeri eyo busaanyaawo obulamu bw’abo ababufuna.
So the pathis of ech auerouse man rauyschen the soulis of hem that welden.
20 Amagezi galeekaanira waggulu mu nguudo; gayimusa amaloboozi gaago, mu bifo ebigazi eby’omu bibuga.
Wisdom prechith with outforth; in stretis it yyueth his vois.
21 Ne galeekaanira waggulu, mu kifo enguudo ennene we zisisinkanira, era gasinzira mu miryango gy’ekibuga ne googera:
It crieth ofte in the heed of cumpenyes; in the leeues of yatis of the citee it bringith forth hise wordis,
22 Mulituusa ddi mmwe ab’amagezi amatono obutayagala kweyongera kuyiga by’amagezi, nammwe ab’amalala okunyoomanga eby’amagezi n’abasirusiru okukyawanga okumanya?
and seith, Hou long, ye litle men in wit, louen yong childhod, and foolis schulen coueyte tho thingis, that ben harmful to hem silf, and vnprudent men schulen hate kunnyng?
23 Kale singa muwuliriza okunenya kwange, laba, ndifuka omutima gwange n’ebirowoozo byange mu mmwe.
Be ye conuertid at my repreuyng; lo, Y schal profre forth to you my spirit, and Y schal schewe my wordis.
24 Kubanga na bayita ne mugaana okuwuliriza, ne ngolola omukono ne wataba n’omu afaayo,
For Y clepide, and ye forsoken; Y helde forth myn hond, and noon was that bihelde.
25 era ne mutafaayo ku magezi ge nabawa, era ne mugaana okubuulirira kwange kwonna,
Ye dispisiden al my councel; and chargiden not my blamyngis.
26 kale nange ndibasekerera nga muli mu nnaku, era mbakudaalire ng’entiisa ebagwiridde.
And Y schal leiye in youre perisching; and Y schal scorne you, whanne that, that ye dreden, cometh to you.
27 Entiisa bw’eribajjira ng’omuyaga omungi, ennaku n’okubonaabona, okulumwa n’obubalagaze,
Whanne sodeyne wretchidnesse fallith in, and perisching bifallith as tempest; whanne tribulacioun and angwisch cometh on you.
28 kale balinkoowoola, naye siriyitaba; balinnoonya obutaweera naye ne batandaba.
Thanne thei schulen clepe me, and Y schal not here; thei schulen rise eerli, and thei schulen not fynde me.
29 Kubanga baakyawa okuyigirizibwa, n’okumanya, era ne bamalirira obutatya Mukama.
For thei hatiden teching, and thei token not the drede of the Lord,
30 Ne bagaana okuwuliriza amagezi gange; ne banyooma okunenya kwange kwonna.
nether assentiden to my councel, and depraueden al myn amendyng.
31 Kyebaliva balya ebibala eby’ekkubo lyabwe ebbi, era ne bajjula ebibala eby’enkwe zaabwe.
Therfor thei schulen ete the fruytis of her weie; and thei schulen be fillid with her counseils.
32 Obusirusiru bulitta ab’amagezi amatono n’obutafaayo bulizikiriza abasirusiru,
The turnyng awei of litle men in wit schal sle hem; and the prosperite of foolis schal leese hem.
33 naye buli ampuliriza anaabeeranga mirembe, ng’agumye nga talina kutya kwonna.
But he that herith me, schal reste with outen drede; and he schal vse abundaunce, whanne the drede of yuels is takun awei.
